The Efteling has always been one of my favourite parks in the Netherlands, as a kid and even now as an adult. This year I decided to pay the park a visit during the winterseason. I never went there during the winter so this was all going to be new to be too.

We left home rather early but due to the sunny weather lots of people had decided to wanted to go to the park so the last 10 kilometers we were in the middle of a traffic jam. We feared that the park would be too crowded but the park has grown the last decade so once you get inside you hardly notice that so many people are here.

Of course some rides were closed like the watercourse. But other attractions opened only during the winter. There was a hall where you could rent speedskates and skate on the ice, on some spots in the park they created large but save firesides and the festive lightings all around was enchanting.
